I have them. The ones I have do adjust, just a pain in the butt and not perfect. Still don't have them where I want them and prob never will. You just have to remember that you get what you pay for and they are made in china. I can post some day pictures if you would like. But I really like them. more up to date looking.

seller : http://myworld.ebay.com.au/bubucha77
item # 250202992890

To clarify:
You have to bake your factory headlights for 10 mins at 150 Celcius to melt the adhesive. Remove the lined plastic factory cover. This leaves you with the black housing, chrome reflector, glass projector lense, projector housing and a bunch of melted gray adhesive. Clean up inside, remove the orange indicator cover, and re-heat. Do N O T put the E-Bay cover in the oven. Install the E-Bay clear cover in place of the Toyota one, using the existing melted adhesive. Clamp and let cool. Add more sealant once dry. Use 'Chromdome' indicator bulbs which look silver, but shine orange....bob's your uncle.
